Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or ConsumerFeedback@aplaceformom.com to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records.

Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
"I am caring for my friend Kevin, who is 65 years old, living at home with age-related decline, mobility problems, and stroke."
Since your friend is now on Medicare, and you are requesting "funding help" -- presumably to pay for his caregiving needs -- please contact social services for his county first and have them come in and do an in-home assessment.
Your friend may now qualify for LTC in a facility. If so, he may also financially qualify for Medicaid to cover his medical, and his SSI to cover the custodial portion. He may refuse this, but please do not commit to being his caregiver if it is costing you your own life and financial stability.
There is no real funding by the govt (or any other organization) for you to be paid to caregive for him for more than a very few hours and above minimum wage. And, you may not be medically qualifed to really do it like it needs to be done.
Your friend may also need a DPoA to legally manage his medical and financial affairs and make decisions in his own best interests. If he doesn't have this place already, or doesn't put it in place now, then he runs the risk of getting a court-assigned 3rd party legal guardian to take on this role. My family's personal experience with this was with my SFIL, who had Parkinsons and Lewy Body dementia and was broke, and uncooperative with his own care. It was the best solution for his situation.
